Acute Medication Treatment:

Not more than 2 days per week

Treat early (don't wait until severe)

Use adequate dose, combine meds

Keep headache diary

Goal is to get you back to 'normal' within 2-4 hours

Can repeat meds, if not getting relief

Go to sleep (sometimes, no matter what you do, some headaches get out of control)
